Reports and celebrations

Discussion

  • [Stan] Reminder for translations that have not yet started translating Python 3.14, it has been released today.

    • [Adam] We do use translations from the closest available version if they’re not available for the current version.

  • [Adam] Someone complained in an issue that we don’t document compression.zstd as only available if you have the zstd library installed. Should we close this?

    • [Joe] There is a note in the sqlite3 module documentation that notes the SQLite 3 requirement.

    • Summary: This is a widespread issue with many similar modules, the topic also came up during the PEP 775 discussion. Suggestions included revising the Build Requirements page in the documentation and improving its visibility, or including notes on each page. PEP 534 wanted to make error messages for missing modules more friendly, but has been deferred, contact Petr if you would like to pick it up.

    Action: Petr to investigate the issue

  • [Hugo] Tutorial about concurrency

    • Summary: There is an open Pull Request by Eric Snow that requires some work.

  • [Adam] Should we rename the “tutorial” to “tour”?

    • Summary: There was consensus that the term would be more representative of what the documents really are.

  • [Maciek] Interactive docs – very early attempt with PyScript, with some issues, planning to share it soon.

  • [Trey] Naming of argument syntax in signatures.
